Description

The trail first leads over a short, steeper ascent through wooded areas until you get to a junction, keep left here in the direction of Gaistalalm and from there take the, now easier, forest trail into Gaistal. Keep right at the Gaistalalm turn-off. This is followed by a steep, winding ascent towards the Rotmoosalm (see also bike tour Rotmoosalm). Leave the bike at the Predigtstuhl junction and continue on foot. Over lush green grassy slopes you come to a saddle, from where you reach the Predigtstuhl between rugged rocks. Once at the top, you are rewarded with a magnificent view. Take the same route back to the starting point.
